It was a usual day at Fairy Tail, Gray and Natsu were fighting with each other as usual while Erza and Lucy were trying to stop them. Juvia was watching Gray from a distance, Mirajane and Lisanna Strauss were working at the bar, Gajeel was sitting across of Levy who was reading a book. Wendy Marvell on the other hand was staring at a particular blue cat.

"Come to think of it, I never knew how Happy actually got his name." Thought Wendy.

"Clara, did you know how Happy got his name?" Asked Wendy.

"No, why don't you ask him or Natsu?" Replied Clara.

"But Natsu-san is arguing with Gray-san and Happy is eating his fish." Said Wendy, glancing across the guild hall.

But Wendy decided to work up the courage and ask Natsu anyway. Wendy slowly creeped up to Natsu and Gray.

"Ano, Natsu-san." Spoke Wendy, meekly.

Natsu and Gray were freaked out when Wendy spoke, but Gray pushed Natsu off him.

"What is it Wendy?" Asked Natsu, after glaring at Gray.

"Ano, I was wondering how Happy got his name." Said Wendy.

Lucy's ears perked up at Wendy's statement. Levy stopped reading as well and Juvia was also interested. Lisanna and MIrajane also paused from their work and many of the other guild members realised that they didn't know how Happy got his name.

"Now that you mention it, I don't think I've heard about that story before." Said Lucy.

"Juvia wants to know too." Said Juvia.

"I was wondering that too." Nodded Levy.

"It's actually pretty simple." Said Gray.

"How so?" Asked Lucy.

"You know the phrase that Happy always says right?" Said Gray.

"Aye Sir?" Spoke Wendy, although it came out as a comment more than a question.

"That was the first thing that Happy said after he hatched from his egg!" Said Lisanna, remembering the moment.


Flashback

When a cracking sound was heard, younger versions of Natsu, Gray, Lisanna, Erza, Mirajane and Cana crowded around Happy's egg. Just then the egg shell broke into three pieces and a blue light emerged from the egg. The blue light eventually faded away to show a baby Happy flying around with his eyes closed, getting used to his wings. Happy then landed on Natsu's head.

Happy opened his eyes and raised his paw, "Aye!"

End of Flashback


"Happy had a smile on his face the moment he hatched from his egg." Said Mirajane.

"And that was how Natsu decided on Happy's name. He has quite a literal and idiotic naming sense though." Said Gray.

"But it fits the salamander though!" Smirked Gajeel.

"Well I don't blame Natsu for naming Happy Happy. It's true that Happy is always happy." Said Lucy.

"I didn't know that." Said Wendy.

Lisanna laughed, "Well, now you know the whole story."

Wendy giggled as she watched Happy eat his fish, seemingly unaware that the current conversation topic was about him. Lucy was right, Happy was always Happy, that was why Natsu named him Happy.


Wendy is probably my favourite Fairy Tail character. Maybe I'll write another one-shot about Wendy's "older siblings", featuring the other members of Fairy Tail and perhaps from other guilds as well.

And yes, I do realise that Natsu didn't really explain anything, but I couldn't really picture him explaining something like this to Wendy.

Please review!
